SUMMARY:Design of High Power Density and Soluble-Boron-Free SMR Cores: Neu
 tronics and Thermal-Hydraulics - Syed Bahauddin Alam (University of Cambri

DESCRIPTION:Previous reactor physics studies of marine propulsion systems 
 were limited to cores with low average power density (60–65 MW/m3). This
  project focuses on designing high power density (HPD) cores with power de
 nsities comparable to that of Sizewell B (101.6 MW/m3)\, in order to obtai
 n more compact designs with better economic performance. In this study\, d
 etailed neutronic analysis and underlying physics for HPD cores are discus
 sed. Due to the obvious thermal-hydraulic challenges associated with HPD c
 ore designs\, a coupled neutronic/thermal-hydraulic hot channel (HC) analy
 sis of HPD cases is performed to determine whether TH safety limits are sa
 tisfied. These issues will be discussed in this talk as well.
